That is some sensual car detailing, and that AP is tops. The article says it can be worn on the wrist or inserted into the dash. Would love to see that wrist shot.

Is that a chronograph function - how do we activate/stop/reset the chronograph timers while driving?

Yes it’s a split seconds apparently; I think the idea is to only use the chrono function while wearing it as a watch.

The watch is a unique Concept FYI with their new split seconds module

Thanks!
I wonder if that is standard or an option. And if it is an option, how much it will add to the car.

What happens to the watch after 72h? Does it rotates to keep the PR loaded?

Read about this at the weekend.

One off special at £25m I believe. Slightly high entry point to also get a new bespoke AP RO

The watch will likely never be worn. Car will sit in a collectors garage and taken out for shows probably.

what's the point of paying 50x more for a custom version of a car, and then not using it? I doubt it. It's probably owned by someone who couldn't care less about money, so the car will be driven at least some what. Perhaps the owner is an AP fan.

It's an art installation for a car enthusiast.

No idea. Think of the house/ land you could have for $30m. Or the 6 $5 million dollar houses. Whoever buys this lives on a different earth than I do.

I wonder if there's more detailed photos of the AP watch. But IMO, VC made something more suited to the car.
